unconditional || graser [on hiatus]

I opened my eyes to see Liam's bright blue ones.

"Wake up, we leave in an hour." He signed. I sat up and smiled. I took a shower, got dresses, and did my makeup. I ate a bowl of cereal and packed the last few things for the trip. It was 9:49 when I finished doing everything I needed to. I brought my black duffel out from my room and say it down by the front door. I sat on the couch armchair as I watched Liam doing the same with his red bag. He turned around and gave me a smile.

"I'm so excited." I signed and grinned wider, as if that was possible.

"I am too. I hope you can end up being friends with them." He said, and I nodded.

We grabbed our things and walked out the front door. Liam shut the door and locked it behind him. We used the elevator and walked through the lobby to the big sliding doors at the front. Liam took our bags and put them in the back. I sat in the passenger's seat and started the car. Liam sat in the driver's seat and pulled out his phone.

"Can I vlog this?" He asked, and I nodded yes. I had appeared in a few of his blogs in the past, but I only really showed up in the back, staring at my phone.

He hit the record button and began talking. He shifted the camera over to me. I smiled at the phone and waved. Liam spoke a little longer more before putting his phone away. He drove out of the parking lot, and we were off.

For the most of the time, I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which I had already read twice before. I was at the part when Harry was being interviewed by Rita Skeeter when I felt Liam shake my left shoulder. I looked up from my book and saw Liam smile. We were parked in front of a tall hotel.

"We're here!" He signed, and I gave him a huge smile. We grabbed our things and checked into the hotel. We put our things down in our room and sat on the beds.

Graser sent me an address and said that we're all meeting up there.

Liam passed me the notepad and I read what he had written. I nodded and we headed back to the car. The place we were meeting everyone at was only around 5 minutes away from the hotel, but we were still the last ones to make it. Liam and I walked inside and kind of stood there. Liam looked around for the familiar faces, and I just took everything in. It was a cafe/diner type place. White tile floors, red leather booths, and everyone was eating pizza.

Liam looked around more until he found them. He looked back at me and smiled. He took my arm and pulled me to a group of 4 boys. One of them was tall and had curlyish brown hair and eyes. Another had brown hair that fell past his ears and was wearing a hat to keep it tame. Another had shaggy brown hair and green eyes. The last one had short brown hair, glasses, and what apoeared to braces on his teeth. Everyone began to exchange hugs while I stood and watched the sweet reunion. Once everybody pulled away from one another, Liam stepped back to introduce me. He began to talk to them-I assume about me-and it felt weird. All eyes were on me. Liam stopped talking, and the tall guy was the first to greet me. He stepped and shook my hand, and then proceeded to hug me.

As not awkwardly as possible, I pulled out a pocket notepad and a few pens from my purse. We all sat down at the large booth and I first handed the notepad to Liam.

tall one is Brayden, snapback is ryan, glasses is Zach, and the last one is Jordan.

I said hello to everyone and they all began talking. The one with glasses, Zach, leaned over the table and got the notepad and pen. He started writing something and soon pushed the notepad across the table to me.

Hey, I'm Graser. Just call me Zach though :-)

I read his note and smiled.

I'm Elise, you can call me Elise or Deaf Girl, whichever is fine :)

I passed the notepad back over to him and watched him read and laugh at what I wrote.

Can I call you beautiful instead?

His words instantly made me tense up and blush. Liam noticed my state and read our notes. Instead of yelling at Zach like I thought he might've, he laughed along with the others. Ryan put his hand on Zach's back in a congratulatory sort of way.

But what Zach said didn't make anything awkward; it was refreshing, actually. It showed how comfortable he was around me. Sure, it was out of the blue and a little soon, but it was sweet.

Yeah, I think I can become good friends with these guys.
